CVE-2017-10089

Status Candidate

Overview

Vulnerability in the Java SE component of Oracle Java SE (subcomponent: ImageIO). Supported versions that are affected are Java SE: 6u151, 7u141 and 8u131. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via multiple protocols to compromise Java SE. Successful attacks require human interaction from a person other than the attacker and while the vulnerability is in Java SE, attacks may significantly impact additional products. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in takeover of Java SE. Note: This vulnerability applies to Java deployments, typically in clients running sandboxed Java Web Start applications or sandboxed Java applets, that load and run untrusted code (e.g., code that comes from the internet) and rely on the Java sandbox for security. This vulnerability does not apply to Java deployments, typically in servers, that load and run only trusted code (e.g., code installed by an administrator). CVSS 3.0 Base Score 9.6 (Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H).

Gentoo Linux Security Advisory 201709-22 - Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in Oracle's JRE and JDK software suites, and IcedTea, the worst of which may allow execution of arbitrary code. Versions less than 1.8.0.141 are affected.

Ubuntu Security Notice 3396-1 - It was discovered that the JPEGImageReader class in OpenJDK would incorrectly read unused image data. An attacker could use this to specially construct a jpeg image file that when opened by a Java application would cause a denial of service. It was discovered that the JAR verifier in OpenJDK did not properly handle archives containing files missing digests. An attacker could use this to modify the signed contents of a JAR file. Various other issues were also addressed.

Red Hat Security Advisory 2017-2424-01 - The java-1.7.0-openjdk packages provide the OpenJDK 7 Java Runtime Environment and the OpenJDK 7 Java Software Development Kit. Security Fix: It was discovered that the DCG implementation in the RMI component of OpenJDK failed to correctly handle references. A remote attacker could possibly use this flaw to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of RMI registry or a Java RMI application. Multiple flaws were discovered in the RMI, JAXP, ImageIO, Libraries, AWT, Hotspot, and Security components in OpenJDK. An untrusted Java application or applet could use these flaws to completely bypass Java sandbox restrictions.

Ubuntu Security Notice 3366-2 - USN-3366-1 fixed vulnerabilities in OpenJDK 8. Unfortunately, that update introduced a regression that caused some valid JAR files to fail validation. This update fixes the problem. It was discovered that the JPEGImageReader class in OpenJDK would incorrectly read unused image data. An attacker could use this to specially construct a jpeg image file that when opened by a Java application would cause a denial of service. Various other issues were also addressed.

Debian Linux Security Advisory 3919-1 - Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in OpenJDK, an implementation of the Oracle Java platform, resulting in sandbox bypass, use of insecure cryptography, side channel attacks, information disclosure, the execution of arbitrary code, denial of service or bypassing Jar verification.

Red Hat Security Advisory 2017-1789-01 - The java-1.8.0-openjdk packages provide the OpenJDK 8 Java Runtime Environment and the OpenJDK 8 Java Software Development Kit.
